Her training as a historiographer helps her to examine her past through many lenses. Her ability to recognize the problematic nature of a remembered past, leads to an extremely honest recounting. I am amazed and inspired by what Dr. Westover has achieved. - Sarah Show less

Despite its fluffy subject matter, Guillory interweaves themes of racism and the challenges facing interracial couples in ways that feel totally seamless and, rather than detracting from the romance, merely enhance it. Best news of all: there’s a sequel that came out this year, too! - Karin Show less

Set mostly in a women’s correctional facility in California, fans of “Orange is the New Black” might see some similarities here. However, Kushner’s prison story is grittier and the occasional humor much darker. The main character is serving two consecutive life sentences and the story swings back and forth between her time in prison and her former life in San Francisco. The novel is often devastating, most keenly so when sharing the circumstances that led to the incarceration of the main character and those of her extended prison family – these woman were destined to end up in prison due to the hand life has dealt them. You feel the characters’ frustrations, and despite all of their flaws, Kushner makes them appealing and bestows them with a sense of dignity. While it was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize, there was surprisingly minimal buzz about Kushner’s third book and it is a shame it was largely overlooked this past year. Well-written, beautiful, and tragic, this novel will break your heart and stick with you for a while. - Shannon Show less

From a striking and mysterious opening that introduces a dark man and a young girl who appears to come back from the dead, this tale considers all of the above while the small community tries to understand what they have seen. This is, in part, a story of storytelling and of people attempting to understand their individual and collective world through the stories and retellings that a community will accept. It is also a story about choices and what each person must accept in order to build their own reality. Mystical and realistic at the same time and full of truth. - Sharon Show less

The relationships portrayed are a montage of the world created by the studio and the real (albeit media-charged) relationships of the women around a series of events that spiral ever more tightly. Unfolding the story slowly, but devastatingly, though several narrators allows events to develop through conflicting personalities and perceptions, while keeping the reader off-balance.
